I bought you a few days ago
at the general store
you weren't very expensive
only about 49 cents.
i think you are worth much more.
Chorus:
pink ribbons are all around me now.
i want to feel you unwind me
pink ribbons, i see they surround you here.
why won't you purchase me?
pink ribbons, they chart your expenses always
do you want a different color or something?
I cut a peice of you off
and tied you in my hair
i think you look quite nice
your pink coloring matches
my outfit.
Chorus:
pink ribbons are all around me now.
i want to feel you unwind me
pink ribbons, i see they surround you here.
why won't you purchase me?
pink ribbons, they chart your expenses
do you want a different color or something?
Your spool is a nice circle
made out of cardboard.
you make me smile,
on your nice circle of cardboard.
somehow i cannot go on without you.
Chorus:
pink ribbons are all around me now.
i want to feel you unwind me
pink ribbons, i see they surround you here.
why won't you purchase me?
pink ribbons, they chart your expenses
do you want a different color or something?
I guess this is good bye.
i have used up all of your yardage.
i will keep this spool in your memory.
and i will hold a funeral for you.
i just want to say thanks for all the good times.
you were a great friend.
lets not make this too painful.
goodbye.
Chorus:
pink ribbons are all around me now.
i want to feel you unwind me
pink ribbons, i see they surround you here.
why won't you purchase me?
pink ribbons, they chart your expenses
do you want a different color or something?
